Gideon Pt. 3

Sorry it took so long for part 3. We had a guys' retreat this weekend and I'm still in pain... physical and emotional...

But here's the third part. After lighting fires and blowing trumpets, Gideon's men shout "A sword for the Lord and for Gideon." So can you guess what this means?

It's part of the divine drama set out by God. We are both a part of the process in which people come to a relationship with Jesus Christ. God has an active part in calling people to Him, but He also chooses to use us in that process. He could easily write someone's name in the sky, show up before someone in all His glory, even force someone to follow Him. But He doesn't. He uses us. He wants us, followers of Him, to tell others about his love. About His glory.

So remember this, you are a vital part to God's plan. He chooses to have you reveal Him to your friends. Are you...?
